Main antagonist of the first NES game, the sorcerer Guardia de Mieux dubbed himself "[[Woolseyism|Jaquio]]" (''[[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|supposed]]'' [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|to be]] "Jaki-Oh", as in "Devil King"). While supposedly human, Jaquio appears as a bizarre, uncanny magician with purple skin dressed in a red torn tunic with a hexagram embroidered on the front and a purple skeleton of a demon wrapped in his body like an armor. Jaquio as Chief of the Chaos Tribe, and he plans to steal the Demon Statue and break the seal on the Dark God, plunging the world into darkness.

Line 113:

Line 211:
* [[Giant Waist Ribbon]]: Sports one in ''Sigma II'' as a [[Call Back]] to her ''Dead or Alive'' outfits.
* [[Jerkass]]: Averted, as Ayane doesn't show much of her base personality from ''Dead or Alive'' in ''Ninja Gaiden'', since she's dealing with mostly higher ranking ninjas like Ryu. Of course, this won't stop her from mocking him at the Game Over screen.
** [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Ayane does treasure what friends she has and is ready to help Ryu and Dragon Ninja Clan whenever possible.

[[File:ElizebetNinjaGaiden_4836.jpg|frame]]
Line 277:
 
* [[All There in the Manual]]: That Gamov came from the Black Spider Ninja Clan and was Genshin's younger brother is not mentioned in the main story. You have to find Genshin's diary and read the entry about his dead young brother.
* [[Badass in Aa Nice Suit]]: Gamov certainly doesn't look like he came from a Ninja Clan, the way he dresses and all.
* [[The Dragon]]: For Murai the Dark Disciple.
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Packs two pistols in the fight against Rachel in ''Sigma'', among other things.
Line 285:
* [[Mysterious Watcher]]: Trailing Ryu through the Vigoor Empire.
* [[Not So Harmless]]: Ryu got a strange feeling from Gamov when fell off the club's edge, also Gamov's fight against Rachel.
* [[Off Withwith His Head]]: The way Murai showed gratitude to Gamov.
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Gamov got offed as soon as he gave the Dark Dragon Blade to Murai.
 
Line 306:
* [[BFS]]: Blade of The Archfiend.
* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]: A male variation.
* [[Driven Byby Envy]]: The Black Spider Ninja Clan being in the Dragon Ninja Clan's shadow for generations took its toll on Genshin, he grew to hate Dragon Lineage entirely, their downfall is Genshin's ultimate goal.
* [[It's Personal]]: Genshin's entire motivation for going along Elizébet plans, he really wants the Dragon Lineage to be extinct.
* [[Large and In Charge]]: Genshin borders on giant, even towering some of his Ninjas that were converted into fiends while still a human, and of course Genshin is the one in charge.
Line 313:
* [[Ninja]]: Holds both Master Ninja and Clan Leader status.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Coming back as a Vazdah Greater Fiend.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Genshin's primary elemnet for his Ninpo is fire.
* [[Recurring Boss]]: Four times in the game.
* [[Take Up My Sword]]: In his last breath Genshin passes the Blade of the Archfiend to Ryu, he uses it along with the True Dragon Sword in ''Ninja Gaiden II''.
Line 348:
* [[Cool Chair]]: Fitting for the Archfiend of Hell.
* [[The Dragon]]: To Dark God Vigoor.
** [[Dragon Withwith an Agenda]]: That said, Marbus doesn't seem very concerned about his master being dead, when he comes back in ''Sigma II'', Marbus is concerned more about his realm and himself being defeated by Ryu.
* [[Flat Character]]: For someone who is said to be behind everything Doku did, Marbus got much less exposition than his subordinate, ironically he gets more exposition in his small role for ''Sigma II''.
* [[Flunky Boss]]: The only boss to be that way in Normal in the first game. He actually uses minor ''bosses'' as flunkies. And in higher difficulties he hides behind Nicchae and Ishtaros... who are actually harder than he is.
Line 369:
* [[Action Girl]]: Gets to be one for a bit in Way of The Kunoichi mode for ''Dragon Sword'', becomes a full-fledged one in ''Sigma II''.
* [[The Archer]]: Like other popular portrayals of shrine maidens, Momiji's main projectle weapon is a bow and arrow, not shurikens despite of being only a Ninja originaly.
* [[Blade Onon a Stick]]: Momiji's naginata<ref>a japanese spear, initially one of the few weapons that women would be allowed to use in Japan.</ref> in ''Sigma II'', another weapon common for popular portrayals of shrine maidens.
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: She's shown as this to the children of the Hayabusa village.
* [[Last of His Kind|Last of Her Kind]]: After Kureha's death, Momiji is the only person worthy of guarding the Eye of The Dragon, much like her sister Kureha, Momiji descends from the Dragon Lineage.
Line 378:
* [[Ninja]]: Originally she was only this, a Ninja (or rather Kunoichi) in training, then Kureha dies and Momiji had no other choice but to replace her sister due their Dragon Lineage.
* [[Someone Has to Do It]]: Momiji could not refuse being a shrine maiden even if she wanted to, her distinguished lineage gave the final word.
* [[Throw the Dog Aa Bone]]: After some dead older sister and self-depreciating heroine arroy, Momiji gets to impress the clan's Master Ninja Ryu himself to train her personally due her determination in getting stronger for Kureha and to protect the clan's children, the results are shown in ''Sigma II'' where Momiji definitely has gotten a lot stronger.
 
== Murai ==
Line 393:
* [[Evil Uncle]]: Of Ryu Hayabusa, mother side. Murai watched in the sidelines as his nephew struggled to save the Hayabusa Village and recover the Dark Dragon Blade; in the end Murai was behind everything.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: Prior to the series itself, Murai once was a honorable ninja from the Dragon Ninja Clan.
* [[Fighting Withwith Chucks]]: Murai's skills with the nunchakus are to be praised, when Ryu has them his usage doesn't compare to that of Murai's, both in power ''and'' speed.
* [[Large and In Charge]]: From the very little we get see about the Shadow Clan, Murai seems to be the tallest and most muscular out of the bunch, and of course he is the leader.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Fast and powerful as the first boss, slower as the last but still capable of some nasty rush downs.
Line 480:
 
* [[Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever]]: The first fight against his angelic form.
* [[Back for Thethe Dead]]: Comes back in ''Dragon Sword'', only to die shortly after.
* [[Big Bad]]: Until Murai/Dark Disciple is revealed to be the true Big Bad of the game.
* [[Clipped-Wing Angel]]: His decayed Chaos Devil form.
Line 500:
Mizuki's daughter. She is a bit affraid of Ryu at first but quickly gets a liking to him.
 
* {{spoiler|[[Attack of the Fifty50 Foot Whatever]]: That monster you slay at the beginning of the game? Yeah, it's her.}}
* [[Cute Mute]]: She uses some kind of tactile tablet to communicate most of the time.
* {{spoiler|[[Final Boss]]}}
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: She really wants Ryu to be her daddy, which implies being more than [[Just Friends]] with Mizuki. For bonus points, they are literally on a deck when she says it to him.
* {{spoiler|[[You Killed My Father]]:}} "MURDEREEEEER!!!"
 
Line 510:
[[File:Cliff_8783.jpg|frame]]
 
Mizuki's Brother-in-law. She jokingly describes him as a [[Mad Scientist]] since he conceives strange advanced weapons such as Ryu's [[It Runs Onon Nonsensoleum|target-locking bow]]. {{spoiler|Turns out, he ''really'' is a [[Mad Scientist]], responsible for bringing his brother Theodore back to life as the Regent of the Mask and turning Canna into what he calls a "Goddess".}}
 
* {{spoiler|[[Evil All Along]]}}
